Bournemouth University applicants 2016

Hi everyone!

Thanks for popping along to the BU forum. We're setting up this thread for anyone that's thinking of applying to study with us in 2016. You can ask us questions, chat among yourselves, or meet other people from the course you'd like to study.

To get the ball rolling, perhaps you'd like to tell us your name and what you're thinking of studying.

Have a great weekend!

Katie

Thankyou very much.

I am awaiting the decision after my interview at Bournemouth Uni.I had a question regarding accommodation.
Do you provide single gender accommodation (on campus/nearest to campus).

Good question! Some of our flats in our Halls of Residence and Unilet properties are for single sex occupancy. When you choose your accommodation through the online system, you'll be able to see the ratio of male to female residents. Just make sure you choose a room in a flat that specifies all male or all female. Hope that helps!

I'm hoping to submit my application by the end of the week, what happens once you at the university receive it?

Hello,

Well done on getting an interview and I hope it went well! Which course were you interviewing for? The time is takes to reach a decision can vary, but if you could let me know which course it was then I can try and get a more accurate time frame for you.

In the meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Hi AmeliaDragon,

There's some really helpful information on our website about what happens next, so hopefully that will answer your question. As a rough guide, we'll aim to make a decision within 6-8 weeks. Is there anything else you'd like to know?

I've just spoken to the Graduate School, and they told me that they're still short listing at the moment, as it's very competitive! They hope that you'll have an answer next week, or at the latest the week after. Hopefully it won't be any longer than that!

I hope you hear soon and best of luck.

I applied to the Media and Communications course earlier today, I received grade A C C C at AS and am predicted A B B at A2. I wondered if you had any idea how long the response time is? Thank you


Hi Emilieneville,

You've probably seen our reply to your private message, but just thought I'd reply to this too in case anyone else would like to know! We aim to respond within 4-6 weeks, but this can really vary. I hope that helps!

Hi Luke,

Good question! You can find out about the Bus for BU on our website including a network map and timetable. I hope that gives you the information you're looking for! Just let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Katie,

I just sent off my UCAS application for the CVA and CAA (Animation) courses today, and have just received confirmation from them that admissions have it! I was wondering, is the 4-6 weeks response thing the response time for interview offers or place offers? And also, how much warning will they likely give me before an interview (like will they invite me to come the weekend before or a month or two beforehand)?

Thanks! Sian
